[jcpwn2004]

I need some newbie help with removing mssearchnet.exe and nvctrl.exe

i read this thread https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic36910.html

but couldn't get it to work

basically i try restarting my computer in safe mode and deleting all the hp....tmps and the mssearch and nvctrl like it says from my windows/system32 folder

then i go to run regedit and delete mssearch from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run

i do all this but it still comes back

any help is appreciated

If you don`t follow the instructions exactly, I`m afraid I can`t help you.

If you`re finding it too complicated, then the only other thing you can do is reformat and reinstall.
